Drupal appropriate for project-- Af-Am cities portal?

Dear all,

I am just beginning to help a group with a community portal site and am wondering if anyone can offer comments on whether Drupal would be an appropriate CMS solution vs. a "roll your own" or other CMS solution.

This group is essentially creating a CitySearch-like portal site for Af-Am businesses, venues, events etc in 50 US cities. Each city receives its own page which is generated from a backend database of businesses, articles, advertizements etc for that city.

At this point, the group has produced the front-end GUI for the home page(s), and a basic MySQL database (which is at many places not tied in, nor populated with data) and a admin tool to access/populate the database.

Compared to the Drupal sites that I have looked at during the previous 2 hrs, their home pages are very rich, graphically and otherwise, and I wonder if it is feasible to recreate this structure in Drupal vs "rolling their own."

Equally, they envision many features-- such as business accounts which allow the business to upload a small graphic logo, customizable fields about their business, calendar events-- for which it is not clear to me if Drupal is well-suited.

Need help with deciding if Drupal is a good solution for new project. Requirements Included.

I have a new project that I will be taking on, and need some guidance as to what built in modules, or third party modules I would need to put this all together.

looking for a module.

Hello i'd like to know the name of the module use in drupal.org that show my name and what can i do (-create content; - issues, - my projects...etc.)

it´s in the right side of the web.

thanks

Forum Solutions

A site I'm working on for the Hong Kong market will be built using Drupal and also requires a forum. I'd like to use the built in Drupal forum but the client has concerns. Mainly the Hong Kong market are big on smilies, gravatars, and uploading animated gifs etc. Because of this they tend to use PHPBB. Now I know there are some modules that can help bridge between Drupal and PHPBB but even the creators of these modules advise that users stick with the built in forum.

So, is there any way to get the default Drupal forum to behave more like PHPBB ??

Just Some Questions :-/

Hey there,

Selling Software on Drupal

Hi all,

I'm curious what modules you would suggest for selling pay-per-download software on a Drupal site? I am using Drupal 5.0; it appears ecommerce is not updated for 5.0. What I need is for user to browse a catalog of available downloads, log in, and be able to pay online.

Suggestions? Thanks!
